Managed Ray platform for scaling AI workloads
Run Ray jobs, services, and libraries on managed infrastructure across thousands of nodes without operating the cluster yourself.
Orchestrate multi-GPU and multi-node training with elastic scaling, last-mile data preprocessing, and GPU observability built in.
Build pipelines that download, filter, and transform video, image, text, and audio data ahead of training.
Parallelize embedding generation and batch inference for search, retrieval, and downstream training workloads.
The AI cloud built by the creators of PyTorch Lightning
Spin up single GPUs, full nodes or reserved clusters by the second, selectable from T4 and L4 up to A100, H100, H200, B200 and TPUs, with no long-term contract required.
Ready-to-code environments with CUDA, PyTorch and common libraries preinstalled, usable from the browser, a local IDE or a terminal, with automatic sleep to stop idle spend.
Launch distributed training jobs and large-scale data preparation across multi-node GPU and high-CPU machines, with interruptible instances at up to about 80% off.
Turn a checkpoint into an endpoint or app without rewriting infrastructure code, and host public app links or private model APIs with configurable rate limits.
